BenQ Debuts Monitors for Mobile and Cloud Content

BenQ has released two new monitors designed to deliver content from mobile devices and gaming consoles.

The EW2440L and EW2740L, with 24- and 27-inch vertical alignment (VA) panels, come with 3,000:1 contrast ratios, flicker-free backlight and mobile high-definition link (MHD) technology. The MHL connection enables users to stream media – including cloud-content -- from their smartphones, laptops or game consoles to the display. Content is optimized for large screen viewing.

Additional key features of the new displays include:

Slim bezel design;

Automatic adjustment of color and resolution of video content;

Ability to pinpoint specific area or window for viewing while concealing remainder of displayed content;

Compatibility with Windows 8; and

"Speaker-only" mode, for audio-only play.

The EW2440L and EW2740L are available now for $299 and $499, respectively. For more information, visit BenQ's Web site.
